Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was born in Manhattan, New York City, to Sadie Gertrude and Jacob
Leonard Kubrick, a physician. His family were Jewish immigrants. Stanley was considered intelligent, despite poor grades at school. Hoping that a change of scenery would produce better academic performance, Kubrick's father sent him in 1940 to Pasadena, California, to stay with his uncle, Martin Perveler. Returning to the Bronx in 1941 for his last year of grammar school, there seemed to be little change in his attitude or his results. Hoping to find something to interest his son, Jack introduced Stanley to chess, with the desired result. Kubrick took to the game passionately, and quickly became a skilled …show more content…
Kubrick directed many films. His most popular film was The Shining. British-American psychological horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, co-written with novelist
Diane Johnson, and starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, and Scatman
Crothers. The film is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel The Shining, despite the film and novel both differing slightly in significant manners. In The Shining Jack Torrance, a writer and
Karisa Watson 4/21/16 Dram2366 recovering alcoholic, takes a job as an off-season caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel. His young son possesses psychic abilities and is able to see things from the past and future, such as the ghosts who haunt the hotel. Sometime after settling in, the family is trapped in the hotel by a snowstorm, and Jack gradually becomes influenced by a ghostly presence, descends into madness, and ultimately attempts to murder his wife and son. Opening weekend for The Shining was a big one. The box office results were $622,337 and this was in 1980.
Another film or Kubrick in the drama – horror genre is A Clockwork Orange. …show more content…
The film chronicles the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via controversial psychological conditioning. The box office results were £618,615 in 2000.
A third film of Kubrick’s that I chose is The Space Odyssey. A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay, written by
Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, was partially inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel".
Clarke concurrently wrote the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, published soon after the film was released. The film follows a voyage to Jupiter with the sentient computer Hal after the discovery of a mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution. The film deals with the themes of
Karisa Watson 4/21/16 Dram2366 existentialism, human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life. It is noted for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight, pioneering special effects, and ambiguous imagery. It uses sound and minimal dialogue in place of traditional narrative techniques. The box office results were $56,715,371.
Kubrick was good with many different genres varying from drama, horror, western,
